Identity in Christ: A 40 Day JourneySample

Part 4: Truths about my purpose

Day 34: I have purpose as an imitator of Christ

We bear God’s image because He made us in His image, but through Jesus, He has called us to be imitators of Jesus in our behaviour too. We could never imitate Christ without the power of the Holy Spirit in us, but now we can have great purpose in shining His light through our work with our hands. All the love, joy, peace, righteousness, faith, suffering, and more that we have in our life as followers of Jesus can shine a light that magnifies His Name. We are truly called to be ‘Christians’ – ‘mini-Christs’!

Let's Pray

Thank You, God, for this precious calling to be an imitator of Christ! You have made me in Your image to be like You, and now You have also shown me how to live. Thank You that I can walk the way that You did, in love and grace, and be full of the Spirit and Truth. I am sorry for the days I have chosen to walk my own path, to build up my brand and self-image. That is not what You want for me. I choose to believe today that I have been called to be an imitator of Christ. Please grow me and teach me to do the things that You did. Amen.
